CorporateBench brings 230K-document realism to LLM evaluation
Evaluating LLMs on real-world enterprise tasks has hit a wall: companies guard internal data, and existing benchmarks oversimplify corporate complexity. CorporateBench addresses this by constructing a 230,000-document evaluation corpus across synthetic firms of varying scale, grounded in temporally consistent knowledge bases that enforce logical coherence across documents. The benchmark spans information extraction and knowledge base querying, offering researchers a realistic testbed for corporate-scale retrieval and reasoning without exposing proprietary communications. This matters because production LLM deployments increasingly operate over sprawling document networks, yet evaluation has lagged behind real deployment conditions.
Modelwire context
ExplainerThe temporal coherence constraint is the actual innovation here. Prior synthetic benchmarks generate documents in isolation; CorporateBench enforces that facts remain logically consistent across a document network over time, which is what makes corporate retrieval genuinely hard.
This work sits alongside RATIO (released the same day) as part of a broader shift toward benchmarks that model real reasoning workflows rather than static tasks. Where RATIO reframes scientific retrieval around ideation operations, CorporateBench reframes corporate Q&A around temporal knowledge integrity. Both reject the assumption that relevance is binary or context-free. The difference: RATIO targets discovery reasoning, while CorporateBench targets operational consistency under scale. Neither is directly connected to the RLVR or agent learning papers from this batch, which focus on training dynamics rather than evaluation design.
If CorporateBench adoption appears in production LLM evaluation reports from major labs within six months, it signals that temporal consistency has become a table-stakes requirement for enterprise benchmarking. If it remains confined to academic citations, the practical friction of maintaining temporal coherence at scale may have limited the benchmark's utility.
